In secret I love you
All of you because
In secret the whole world turns away
as we withdraw

But lovers should never have to hide
And lovers should never have to stand on opposite sides

In secret I hold you
I've told you before
Our secret is too charged
Too large to be ignored

But lovers should never have to hide
And lovers should never have to stand on opposite sides

Why be afraid to love you as if it's a crime
I want to get carried away in the light of day
If it takes a lifetime
Meanwhile I'll know, and you'll know
Go our own separate ways

In secret I lie with you
I try to sleep
But secrets divide the two lives
we both try to keep

But lovers should never have to hide
And lovers should never have to stand on opposite sides
